Sorry for the late reply. Here is a current screen shot of Bolo's Character sheet at level 30 in full Tank mode.

Intimidate ranges between 124 and 145 depending on gear. UMD is 58, heal skill is 59, heal amp is 80 and positive spell power is 371

mmm my heal amp used to in the mid 140s, I will have to investigate change

Here is Bolo's most current Tank build. It is mostly the Elven Steel Maidenbuild on DDO Forums https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/493593-The-Elven-Steel-Maiden-(-AC-Fighter-)-Ravenloft-Edition

but I prefer PDK for Bolo so some slight changes.

Gijo - How is this better (or worse) than a pure fighter? What gear are you currently using?

The first picture is from about 2 years ago when Bolo was pure fighter. The second one is as of today.

As you can see AC, PRR, MRR are all much higher. I was able to improve my dodge from 8% to 13% But did loose a bunch of heal amp. Used to have 190-240. Now due to gear I only have 110 unless I equip a heal amp stick.

Goggles: LGS Electric Opposition material

Helm: Legendary Hardened Hide

Neck: LGS Fire, Opposition, material

Trinket: Echo of the Icon

Cloak: LGS Acid, Opposition, Material

Belt: LGS Cold, Opposition, Material

Ring: Circle of Malevolence

Gloves: LGS, Positive, Opposition, material

Boots: Cerulean Guard

Ring: Crafted False life, Charisman, insightful Charisma

Bracers: Arm of the Aggressor

Armor: Platemail of Celestial Avenger

Shield: Terminus

Sentient weapon: Nightmare, 3 piece grandfather's shield, 3 piece Blood Feast, 2 piece Prowess.

There are also some interesting and newer tank build with heavy Arti levels that can be found on the DDO forums.

Bracers: Arm of the Aggressor

Armor: Platemail of Strahd

Shield: Terminus

Sentient weapon: Nightmare, 3 piece grandfather's shield, 3 piece Blood Feast

The big change here is bold and in yellow

Those 3 pieces give me the Knight of shadows set. +20 artifact bonus to PRR and MRR, 50% arifact bonus to threat gen, and 10% artifact bonus to AC. I do loose the 5 piece LGS ender set. I might recreat a piece of the LGS set to get back the electric resist and loose the acid resist instead.

The big change here is bold and in yellow and green.

The Wayward Warrior set allows me to get my Dodge up to 15%, loosing only 1 AC and 10 PRR. I also gain 9 MRR, 97 hit points, 10 more heal amp (120 total) and positive energy of 399. This works great with my Consecration and Light the Dark
